Miscellany

[Guest guest]

All,

 

I want to thank those who took the time

to reply to my question about theory.

I don't have time to take up individual

points in detail, but I am working on

this subject and will share whatever

results seem worthy of attention as they

become available.

 

I'm getting ready to hit the road for

a couple of months and will likely be

off line much of that time and perhaps

longer.

 

I wanted to comment briefly on one thread

that has been dangling...the one about

consciousness. What the human brain

seems to do is to make it possible for

us not to pay attention to virtually

everything around us so that we can

focus on just one or two things at a time.

 

We seem to be easily overwhelmed and

need this kind of shock absorber.

 

So my advice to those who find certain

topics nauseating is to just emulate

the function of the brain and delete

and/or igore it.

 

There are serious consequences to forbidding

communication. I'll be happy to talk about

this at any length that anyone desires...

 

....but not right now.

 

For now, here's a quote from that lovable

old revolutionary, Thomas Jefferson:

 

" Our most fundamental liberties depend upon the freedom of thought

and the freedom of expression; and you cannot limit either one in

any way without destroying both. "

 

And just to provoke even more and louder

" Duh's.... "

 

Here's another from Søren Kierkegaard:

 

People hardly ever make use of the freedom they have. For example,

the freedom of thought. Instead they demand freedom of speech as a

compensation....

 

I will check in from time to time as

connectivity permits.

 

Best to all,

 

 

Ken

 

PS. I think it was Matt who said he was

going to play more. I'm down with that.

 

Let's play more.
